Kingdom Of One (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Opulent solitude,

how rich it becomes

alone in one’s shadow,

times riches in sum

 

To revel monastic

o’er sultans and earls,

whose joyous reflection

—your diamonds and pearls

 

(Dreamsleep: November, 2021)

 

 

Rebel In The Shade

 

Standing hidden off to the side

naked and alone,

his aura too imposing,

his cover all but blown

 

A target of those dilettantes,

consummate poseurs,

his space they had surrounded

—his legend to procure

 

(The New Room: November, 2021)

      Brilliant!
      that first stanza, should be memorialised, sculpted
      on a wall
      in every city, in every language
      and maybe even, tattooed
      on the surface of the moon!
      Thank you, for choosing to share
      your poetic Genius, Kurt
      I read and try ever-so hard, to learn
      my friend
